More Valentine Gift Bags

I got on a roll with making these bags, they were so fast and easy. The bags were cut at 9.5" from Wrap it Up (the robot) out of Bo Bunny paper. The front panel was cut from Imagine More Cards at 3.153" w by 4.528" h. I used CCR and stretched this to fit the front of my bag, that is so awesome! I added ribbon and tulle and that was it. The first bag is just one layer the red bag I separated the layers so you can see the difference.

This one I separated the layers, and popped up them up.
Here is the side view so you can see the layers popped up.

Valentine Bag

I made this for my first design post for Creative Critterz Imaginations. I am so excited to have been picked to be on this Design Team, I am also a little intimidated by all the talent of the other DT members. They are so awesome you need to check them out here. The theme for this weeks challenge is Valentines Day. I came up with this little bag to fill with treats and love. I hope you like it.
The heart is just glued down on 3 sides to make a pocket and the tickets are just stuck in the pocket.
Side view all the layers are on pop dots. I also inked the edges.
Here is the bag from the wrap it up cartridge (the robot) cut at 9.5" and filled in with paper from the Imagine More Cards cart. I designed this in the Cricut Craft Room or CCR for short. You don't need to I did so I could get the right sizes and pick the perfect paper for the bag. CCR makes it so easy to see how things will look together so you don't waste as much paper.
Here is the mat with the heart and tickets, I don't have the brown heart on this for some reason. The brown heart was filled in with brown from the imagine more cards cart and cut at 4.25", the other heart and layers were cut at 4", the ticket was cut at 1.25".I hope you like this and get inspired to make something for someone you love. Have a great day!

Love Gift Bag

This little box is so easy to make, you take 2 6x6 square pieces of paper and score the tops at 1" then score the sides and bottoms at 1.5" on one of the 6x6 squares cut out the corners on the bottom, fold down the top on the outside of the box. Glue together and there you have it. Now just decorate.

A year in Review scrapbook page

I made this for a Cricut Circle challenge, and boy was it ever a challenge. The challenge was to make a scrapbook page or a mini reviewing the year 2011, for some reason this was hard for me. Well this is what I came up with, it's been done for awhile with the exception of one picture. I designed this in CCR with the Fancy Frames cartridge. I used my E2 and put a gel pen in it and drew all the frames. I cut the numbers and letters out of Alphalicious and glued them down. I printed the little numbers and description of the pictures from the computer. The black label is cut from Lacy Labels. The little numbers are inked around the edge and put on with pop dots.

Happy Birthday

So I was playing around with CCR and my Imagine and this is what happened. They still don't play super well together, but there is great potential. I picked out the mat color and added the owl and header and printed that out. I then cut the cupcake party hat and header again and put on pop dots. The sentiment is from the All mixed up cart, I just typed it in, tried to do it again and now it won't let me. Not my favorite card, but I'm still learning how to use these two things.
